The deliveries of the three huge structures come after it was reported Ineos had put construction of the £350 million new energy plant on hold.

Earlier this year Ineos stated: “As things stand the project is still planned. World events such as COVID-19, the war in Ukraine and the significant increase in gas prices have led to a review of the timeline which is ongoing at the moment.”

Ineos got planning permission to build the new steam and power plant in 2018, saying it was key to the future development of the site and demonstrated its commitment to the town.

It is hoped the plant will modernise the way steam and power is generated for the INOES Petrochemical and Petroineos plants.

In November last year a stretch of Bo’ness Road was temporarily reduced down to one lane as works were carried out on an access point to the NEP.
